By far this is the best channel on KZbin and I look forward to your videos every week. Your family and business is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with toxic programs. I would choose this every time over the reality tv filth clogging up the airwaves.

[@warrenholmar1129]

Agreed!

Jared Kelley - Nick, Scott and Robert do show some great reality concerning the many aspects of farming here on this channel. thanks Nick for putting all this together.

[@MichaelDoerner]

As a city slicker...I feel I am more educated about what farmers like yourselves have to contend with....without having to hear it from a Washington D.C. lobbyist. Keep up the great work you are doing with the videos!

[@keithglaysher737]

These machines have come a long way over the years, I used to own an old Victorian machine that was in effect a 'broadcaster' it was operated by a violin bow if you like, made of wood the farmer would wear the massive seed hopper that had an adjustable dispenser at the bottom releasing seed on to a centrifuge wheel spun by the bowing action of the farmer, made by Ransomes it revolutionized the planting of wheat & barley back in the day. I can't imagine the effort expended by the poor farmer that had to walk the fields with that machine & I think the proud boast was that you could plant 10 acres a day with this contraption strapped to your back, man that must have been hard & watching the birds following your path pecking away at your work must have been especially galling! All this after you had plowed/ harrowed your fields with horse-drawn implements, it must have been an exhausting experience! When you have the time Nick you might like to show some early examples of machinery & show how much things have changed. The agricultural advancements have been amazing over the years & you now feed the world & not just a village. God bless you & your family Nick & all the farming communities.

Thanks Nick and the entire Welker Farms Inc family. You guys are great and seem to be a good family. Truly a pleasure to watch. You guys have inspired me to plant a small (very small lol) crop of wheat in my garden this year. I just wanted to experience that for myself. Thanks for the videos but most of all the hard work and time you guys spend on the farm, tractors and videos.

that is what i bought a small Massey 135 and a 1 row planter for. so if i miss a row i can easily go back and fix it. but we farm with 8 and 10 row equipment. we have a IH 1586, a IH 986, and a case IH 685 oh and the Massey. For implements we have a John Deere 230 (21 foot batwing disk), a 12 foot IH chisel, a 8 row IH corn planter, a 10 row IH bean planter, a 8 row tye no till drill for oats and wheat, and a homemade 10 foot dual for finishing before planting. me my dad and granddaddy farm 485 acres of bottom land in south mississippi. love the vids cant wait for some bud action

Wow. Just wow, unreal the technology that's in farming these days. And hey! You had an Alberta rep! Kool beans!

[@oldfarmer4700]

Last time I planted corn or peas or beans was with a John Deere planter the was chain driven, plates for different seed and the seed bins had a plate that sat on seed and had a rod that wheat thru the lid and would slowly went down as you planted. But you wouldn't know there was a problem for at least a mile or so before you could tell the one wasn't going down as much as the others. Was back in the good old days like 1973. No hydro's, tripped it to go down and start planting and tripped it again to raise up and stop. Man things have changed.

[@WelkerFarms]

Amazing how much they have changed, and like everything some really good changes and some not so good changes.

[@halbritt]

As someone that works in tech, specifically IIoT, it's cool to see the details.

Judging from the experience in the field (which I came across first), the new blockage monitoring system seems to work like a charm, though I am still wondering how the heck those pebbles got in there; you seemed to be screening things beforehand (maybe not everything?). Very interesting. Thank you for the informative videos (great editing too); I'm not a farmer but it's good to know how much tech and hard work is involved in our food production.

[@ackack612]

I ceretainly don't want my drills cross talking! No electronics, they're acoustic! The sophistication of the equipment is just staggering. And I imagine that today's equipment, within a short time, becomes outdated as improvements and advancements are brought to market. Which brings me to my question Nick: when hauling in the fields with your decades old Big Brute tractors/tech, (not withstanding your intense and rigorous maintenance routine) what are you giving up by not using a new(er) $500,000 + -tractor with all the bells and whistles? Clearly, you make this m/o work for Welker Farms. I know you have mentioned fuel economy but there must be more. I, and I'm sure others, would be very interested in your thoughts. Great vid and thx!

[@WelkerFarms]

Excellent question. I guess I would say we are missing out on: comfort(super nice cabs), integrated GPS, increased hydraulic capacity, top road speed, visibility, happier epa, really nice powershift transmissions, lots of electronic bells and whistles... I'm sure I'm missing some big reasons but those are a few.

[@Dieselpower82]

@@WelkerFarms A good (air) drill is more important than a tractor in my opinion. Btw you guys are more than capable enough to add a steering valve for integrated steering if you wanted to ;-)

Yea it seemed like we will give you a discount and help you install if you show and tell about our equipment. Cant blame him at all though as any of us would have done the same.

When this system is up and running will you be able to download seed planting data/sprayer data/harvest data? The end result being how much seed=specific yields r/t now I can add or subtract fertilizer in specific areas of a field? That would be really interesting data to streamline yields... Where is my Pepsi Co shirt legarms? We have needs as viewers!

[@jetegtmeier71]

if it checks for blockages via no seed passing through the tube what can you do about a line coming off and you blow seed all over the place??? does it alert you if the line is too free flowing I guess is what I'm getting at ?

[@Mishn0]

It would sense the increased flow and show that as a problem.

[@WelkerFarms]

Hmm I do believe it still does as the pressure is now different not pushing product into the soil and instead into normal atmospheric pressure. It might not sound depending on how tight the alarm settings are set, but you can see the difference in flow percentage on your cab monitor.

[@jetegtmeier71]

@@WelkerFarms Thanks for the quick reply, I being NOT a farmer, just had the thought so I asked the question. I didn't realize there was a way to monitor the flow from the cab, there again there is probably a LOT I don't know about farming in fact I guarantee it. Thanks for the knowledge :)

[@J-1410]

Late but: Air and seed takes the shortest path so if you loose/break/blow a hose, more product will go through that line and register as more than the rest, either making it look like the rest are getting shorted or that one is getting alot more.
